GABA

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-essential amino acid that is known for its calming properties. GABA is produced naturally by neurons, but GABA supplements have been shown to improve mood by limiting anxiety and helping individuals relax. As an inhibitory neurotransmitter, it supports brain functions by regulating the firing of neurons. In its role as a regulator of neuronal activity in the brain, GABA also reduces stress levels and can be used to treat prostate problems and a diminished sex drive.

For individuals that find they experience high levels of anxiety on a daily basis, or if they are continuously nervous, GABA can be used to calm nerves during specific situations. GABA is widely used as a mood enhancer for its ability to increase an individual’s positive outlook. By doing so, GABA is able to help people cope with stress, and is therefore also a popular method of treating mild bouts of depression. GABA is also very effective as a sleep aid, and can help control abnormal levels of anxiety and fear that can occur due to over-stimulated nerve cells in the brain.

GABA receptors account for an amazing 40% of nerve connections in the brain, indicating its significant importance in terms of healthy brain functions. GABA is also recognized for its help in the production of growth hormones that aid in the development of lean muscle mass.
